Many: As AAA is very common in the population, many famous people have had (and do have!) them. Einstein, bob dole, charles de gaulle, rodney dangerfield, george c. Scott, lucille ball, dick cheney, conway twitty....Just to name a few. The key is to identify whether you have an AAA before it ruptures so it can be safely repaired. Ultrasound is a noninvasive and easy way to diagnose aaa.
